    Active Savings fix at 2.02% until later this month.
    Also, does having my cash SIPP fixed with Investec at 1.95% until February count?
    Cash SIPP? Didn't know you could get such a thing paying other than pennies interest?

    Close Brothers were doing one too (and still maybe)

    Recently did a 5 yr fix 1.90% @ RCI.
    Matures April/May 2025.
    Also, AA savings recently offered £30 Tesco Gift Card If I open another savings a/c with £100 so effectively over 30%.

    Wife and I just received our £30 shopping vouchers (we chose Asda & Tesco) from the AA. Not bad, £60 return (plus 0.45%) for £200 investment so effectively 30.45% return! I was sceptical because I didn't think it would tracked.

    Oh to be young again - my two cherubs have large sums earning 3.25% with NS&I. As for me, the only substantial cash I have is at a relatively paltry 1.51% with OakNorth. 

    Otherwise, everything else is invested. Not really interested in being a bottom feeder right now...

    I believe Paragon are raising their rates - baby steps ;)
    I don't care about your first world problems; I have enough of my own!

    Are you sure you get 0.5% from Starling? AFAIK, they are only paying 0.1% now
